Lord Janner's inclusion in child sex abuse probe condemned by family

Lord Janner's family have expressed outrage at his "inexplicable inclusion" in the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse.

His three children said the existence of a strand of the inquiry examining allegations against Lord Janner - the only individual to be "singled out" - created an "assumption of guilt".

Their comments came ahead of a meeting with lawyers from the inquiry on Wednesday, where they planned to discuss their concerns.

Lord Janner's son Daniel Janner QC and two daughters, Marion Janner and Rabbi Laura Janner-Klausner, have also indicated their intention to apply for core participant status, which would grant them a formal role in the inquiry process.
